#4128 – Capable of Good

Good morning people who can live life well and honour God

Sometimes we have this false belief that obeying is simply too difficult. Have you ever felt like that? I have. There are times when I know what the Word of God says but I don’t think I can do it. Sometimes we believe the lie that the temptations we face are too strong for us to overcome.

I want to encourage every person with a simple truth today.

Exodus 16:17 The Israelites did as they were told; some gathered much, some little.

That’s simple, but it’s the truth: we can all do what we are told in the Word of God.

1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

Again, I want to encourage us all today to not fear temptation, tests or trials. God is faithful; that’s our hope and our security. Let’s focus on God’s ability in and through us and not our inability and frailness. Our beliefs will shape our lives.
